What Juniors Max?
You must be talking about that fresh faced junior Mick Buettner, or perhaps it's the mature-looking for his age Nick Graham? Or was it the schoolboy superstar John Wilson at 5/8? None of these three should have played chief it's that simple. A top young player in Liam Fulton was dropped from the bench to make way for one of these crocks.
As you say, from a purely selfish point of view I'm delighted. If Sheens had selected Kerr and Fulton in his team there is no way known that the Maggies would have beaten the competiton leading Eels on Saturday. But I'm not that selfish. Both players aspire to the big time and both IMO are worthy of the chance to press their case ahead of the likes of Buettner and Wilson who have proven themselves to be less than superstars.
It wasn't inexperience that let the side down on Sunday. There was more than enough experience in the Tigers side. I'd be stunned if they didn't have far more combined first grade games than the Dragons. They'd have to be hundreds of games in front. Did you even watch the game Max? Harrison was barely on, Fulton played the night before, Gibbs didn't do much but he wasn't Robinson Crusoe in that regard. Halatau is a bit beyond the junior tag - he missed some tackles but ran it well. Heighno was like Gibbs. Four younger guys in a side boasting at a rough guess 10 players with 100+ first grade games each. Bit harsh to blame them.
No, lack of experience was nothing like the problem. Too many old legs and not enough enthusiasm might have had something to do with it, but mostly it was a lack of class, something some of the younger brigade have in spades.
You mention Micky B. and Graham???? Who at best are helping hands at the moment.It was quite obvious that even though he is busting his gut trying Graham is just not fit enough to keep up with the current crop Of first grader's.
Im talking about top first grade player's like O Neill and Satt's who were missing badly,good player's who have experience like Wiki,that is what our current crop of young kid's need Yappy hard men and experience!
Do you think that Penrith won the comp.with Harold Matthew's player running around in the NRL do you Yappy??
Thank's for letting us know that Saint's had to much class Sleuth!
One only has to look at there star studded line up to know that!
You know Yappy I hope Sheen's pick's Fulton, Kerr,Gibb's and Harrison against the Rooster's as his starting line up and we will see how they go!
The next thing you will suggest is that you should take over from coach Sheen's who has won premiership's and has taken us to the more win's than we totaled for the whole of last year.
Where were you when we were winning Yappy, no where to be seen but time and time again when we have a bad day at the office people like Tugger and Co. come out of the wood work's and try and destabilise the JV. :roll:
he'd be a good buy.
